YO need to resolve the pinging problem first...if you cannot ping, you certainly will not be able to do anything else...make sure that there are no software firewalls installed on either machine. What are you exact IP settings?

well, everything may look ok, but apparently it is not. start by making sure you have a link light at the NIC on both systems (or, on the switch). get a link light (no link light=improper cabling or incorrect media type set on NIC), then test tcpip. ping tests the tcpip configuration. if it don't work, tcpip ain't right (unless the destination has ping 'turned off', but i digress)what ip address does each system have? send us the tcpip configuration on both...get pinging working and i bet you are back in business. are you using dhcp? have your tried an ipconfig /release /renew on the workstation? do you get dhcp server error messages? have you tried a static address? did this ever work? have you tried other protocols besides tcpip? what firewalls are in place? can you turn them off while you get this working
